RC for 3yr old ?
 

What is a good rc truck for my 3yr old that will hold up well and has a top speed of 10 to 15 mph ...Everything I have has way too much power for him and the new mini revo is too much money, is there anything in the 100 or less catagory or am I dreaming ?

traxxas slash on training mode is about the best you can get

you are dreaming. just lower the power output of whatever you got. my friends son was driving nitro Monster GT when he was 4 :) and was very annoyed that his wheely king is so slow.

Buy a crawler, plenty slow and plenty fun. The new AX10RTR is a nice choice.

Get him a wheelie king.

ultimate hobbies has the duratrax evader, rtr for $79, for the money I don't see how you could beat esp for a 3 year old since most of the chassis parts have a 1 year warranty. Only downfall is I don't think it has bearings, but that could be a good father son project, tear down put bearings in. I have talked a couple guys at work in to picking one up for their sons as a starter.http://www.ultimatehobbies.com/istar...N%2FA&subsize= This seems like a pretty rockin deal too, for a rtr truck with bearings, alum shocks,

Those are some great deals junkman.

get him a stampede. you cant go wrong.

They do have a brushed version of the mini revo. Its still $200 but cheaper then the vxl one.

i think the slash on 6cell and training mode is a good choice. Cost effective and parts availability is good. Its also VERY tough!

For a 3 year old and younger crawlers are definitely the way to go. They don't have the best control so they run into stuff all the time and get bored if it stops. So when it just crawls right over the top they love it. A mate bought his son a few cars but the one that his son liked the most was the losi mini rock crawler.

You guys spoil your kids; when I was that age or there abouts, all I had to play with were cheap 'toysRus' type vehicles that ran on 4x D cells and went about 5mph tops. That said, it got me into real RC after several years. Cant help thinking any hobbygrade rc will end up being a project for the dad to play with (repair and upgrade) since the son will crash it every 5 minutes in all likely hood.

My son is three and likes the crawlers over anything else. He can actually drive it which helps immensely being able to crawl over everything extends his interest.

+1 on a crawler

I have a 10yr old Nikko buggy that goes 5mph at most for my son to start with when he's ready (he's not old enough yet...can't even stand...haha). Then I have a Nikko truck that goes about 10-15mph for him to upgrade to. Then after that, I'll give him one of the hobby grade RCs, but toned down so he doesn't have to jump from a 10mph truck to a 40mph one and take out daddy's shin while he's learning.

My 4yo is learning to drive an XL5 Rustler in training mode that is water-proofed. He can't get enough of driving it in mud-puddles. Every time it rains he can't wait to get it out.

hummm lol ok I have a mint crawler with with 750.00+ in it....I like the duratrax evader idea 79.00 bucks sounds good to me ....

I agree i just sold my evader st. i had it forever and the ext can handle brushless power 2s no problem because of the new diff style and bearings are a cheap upgrade from bushings if u buy the cheap ones. plus they are great about their warranties, and product support, i got my truck from tower and it came with a leaky shock and they sent me a whole set within a week. plus parts are cheap and keep parts recipts because u can send them in as well if they break within a year.
